6 roles
Jean Shepherd/Narrator: A charismatic storyteller who has the ability to weave a spell and draw an audience into his magical world. He is omniscient but not overpowering -- a good-natured curmudgeon with a deadpan sense of humor. Has one singing line at the end of the show, non-dancing role.
Ralphie's father. A guy with a good heart, though it is buried beneath a sometimes gruff exterior. He's a devoted husband and father who loves his family but doesn't overtly show it. A strong dancer. Vocal range is B♭2 to G4.
More in charge of the family than The Old Man is, but she would never let him know it. She is warm and affable, at times a bit daffy, but not a pushover. She is the secret engine that keeps the household together with an impressive balancing act. A strong dancer. Vocal range is G3 to D♭5.
The local elementary school teacher. A seemingly stereotypical 1940s educator -- prim and proper. In Ralphie's fantasy, she becomes a dynamic, show-stopping belter and a tapper -- a force to be reckoned with. Tap dancer. Vocal range is F#3 to D5.
The Santa Claus at Higbee's department store is decidedly unlike the typical "Jolly Old Elf" of legend. Ill-tempered and slightly inebriated, he is unhappy with his job and dismisses each child as quickly as possible. Vocal range is B♭2 to F4.
